Gas smell when parked

Offrdguy79 · Apr 15, 2023

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone noticed a gas smell inside the car when parked? I notice it when I'm sitting engine off, I can be outside the car and smell it, but don't see any leaks.
I'm a bit concerned, but I'm also getting rid of this thing next month after the wedding.
Ideas, feedback, prior knowledge...?

TIA

You can remove the rear seat cushion and then the access plate to check the fuel pump seal.

Hey AG, So I pulled up the seat this morning and, Yep. Top of the fuel tank where the fuel pump assy goes was all wet with fuel. I couldnt tell where the fuel is leaking from, but took a photo if you want to see. I have no idea if there is a recall for this or what. Im not sure how long the appointment time is for the dealer, but I dont want to pay for this Diag/repair either. Thanks, Jeff

Post the pic. Could be the pump to tank seal or the quick connect.

Gas leaking somewhere.

After looking closer at the photo, it looks like the black hose has split.
I don't know what that goes to or comes from.

Does anyone have experience replacing this line?
Do I need to drop the tank or can I reach both ends without too much difficulty?
It look like I can get the replacement part for about $50.
